Source: AID/LAC staff, based on US Bureau of Census Data.
Five-year annualized growth rates are calculated using a geometric formula.
Growth rates for 1991 through 1996 are based on growth for the 12 months prior to each year: e.g. the growth rate for 1996 is based on population growth between mid-1995 and mid-1996.
